Kris C asked:
I have a 1600 sq. ft house, with one color in the family room, one color in the living room, and one color in each of the two bathrooms. Is there a limit to how many different shades of floor tile will look okay? We are thinking of tiling our entranceway and hallway, but we don’t know if we should use a different color, or the same color as the living room. Please help with suggestions.

well it all depends. like for example, if you have a light brown sandy tile in one room an a darker brown sandy tile in another room then that would be fine..the colors would go great together. but if you have a light brownish tile and a blackish tile then thats a big no. you just have to make sure that your tile matches..it doesnt necessarily have to be the same color..just as long as its in the same catagorie. you alson dont want two colors that are alomst exactly the same side by side..that will look tacky. i hope i helped you out.
I am a fan of continuity I have one type of tile in the kitchen, entryway and mudroom. Hardwoods throughout the bedrooms, dining area and hall, and carpet in the family room.
